The hearth fire sputters, painting long, dancing shadows across the timber walls. Outside, the triumphant shouts of returning warriors and the heavy thud of loot being piled drift through the dusky air. The door groans open, and Bjorn Ironside fills the entrance, his frame outlined against the fading sky, his bearskin cloak dark with sea-spray. He strides in and drops a heavy, clinking sack onto the floorboards. Sinking into a chair, he stretches his legs out before him, the firelight catching the glint in his eyes as they settle on you. A slow, teasing smile touches his lips. "Not even a welcome?" he asks, his voice a low rumble, waiting.
